Job description

Frontend Game Developer

Contract: 12 months (Permanent thereafter)

Location: UK Remote (Hybrid in Manchester once office opens)

About the Company

Founded in 2024, this fast‑growing software company has already achieved profitability within its first year, launching its first slot game in February 2025. With an energetic team of 8 and ambitious plans to double in size over the next year, this is a business in true scale‑up mode.

The culture is fast‑paced, transparent, and outspoken. Everyone is treated as an equal, and the leadership team is open about how the business is performing. This is not a place for passengers — it’s for people who are confident, vocal, and excited by building something meaningful!

The Role

This is the first Frontend Developer hire within the development team and a critical role in shaping how games are built going forward.

You’ll be working on multiple HTML5 casino‑style games simultaneously, often switching between 3–4 projects at any one time. No two days will look the same, and the environment is intentionally high‑energy.

The initial contract is 12 months, with a move to permanent expected (potentially sooner if the Manchester office opens earlier).

Working pattern

• Monday–Friday (choose: 7–3, 8–4, or 9–5)
• Flexible approach to hours

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain HTML5 slot‑style games
• Work across multiple game projects simultaneously
• Build performant, scalable frontend game logic
• Collaborate closely with a small, highly driven team
• Adapt quickly to changing priorities and new features
• Take ownership of your work and speak up when something can be improved

You’ll thrive here if you are:

• Energetic, confident, and outspoken
• Passionate about games and game development
• Comfortable in fast‑paced, sometimes high‑pressure environments
• Able to manage multiple projects without hand‑holding

Required experience

• 2–3 years professional experience as a Frontend / Game Developer (ideally 3)
• Strong proficiency in:
  • HTML5
  • Canvas
  • WebGL
  • TypeScript
  • Pixi.js
• Experience working on interactive or game‑based products
• British citizen

Nice to have

• Previous casino or gambling industry experience
• Prior experience working on slot or real‑money games

This role is ideal for a mid‑level frontend game developer who wants real responsibility, autonomy, and the chance to grow with a company that’s moving fast and winning early.
